Looks nice. Like the Honda gx.

With the way that reel looks and the lack of a front roller, I wouldn't offer more than maybe $150.

That reel looks worn out, probs needs a new one along with a bedknife.

Thanks guys, I won't bother. There's also this one they're claiming is almost new...

The reel looks good to me, just needs a good pressure washing and maybe a good backlapping. Looks like there is even plenty of relief left on the blade.

I would recommend this one over the other, mainly because of the fact that it's a 7 blade, versus 10 blade. Depending on the HOC you will be at, having more blades does not equate to a better cut. The 10 blade will be spinning "faster", creating a "drum like" effect, almost rolling over the grass area that's intending to be cut, compared to the 7 blade, meaning the grass won't have as much time to get in between the blade and reel. It will leave you with a cut quality that you won't be satisfied with. If you're going lower than 1/2", then yes, go for the higher blade count.

That's a great tip. I'm a cool season guy, so won't be going that low. I'll probably be at the high end of a reel cut.
